A decoration reading ''Merry Christmas'' hangs on the premises of the Assumption Church in Lalitpur, Nepal, on December 24, 2025. Churches across Nepal are decorated with lights and decorations to mark the evening with gaiety and fanfare praising Christ. The Assumption Church in Lalitpur is also decorated with lighting, and a Christmas tree is set in the courtyard, which becomes the center of attraction for visitors. A Christian holiday honoring the birth of Jesus Christ, Christmas traditions around the world are diverse. They, however, share key traits involving the themes of light and evergreens. Other communities also join the celebration in Nepal as it is recently observed as a national festival. People across the world observe the festival with traditions and practices that include decorating Christmas trees, exchanging gifts, sharing meals with family and friends, and waiting for Santa Claus to arrive.

Opponents hold a banner reading 'Stop LGV' in front of the Matabiau train station in Toulouse, France, on December 15, 2025. Several associations, such as 'Amis de la Terre' (Friends of Earth), Stop-LGV 47, Stop-LGV 33, and LGV-No Thanks, call for a gathering in front of the main railway station of Toulouse, the Matabiau train station, just before a hearing at the Administrative Court of Toulouse to contest the legality of environmental authorizations for the planned high-speed train between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The CNPN (National Council for the Protection of Nature) says the SNCF file to build this high-speed railway is inadequate, false, and incomplete. The Environmental Authority also says there is no research on alternatives for the LGV, which is a legal duty. Moreover, the projected price tag is initially estimated at EUR10 billion for 200 km, then EUR14 billion in 2021, and now, the costs are estimated to exceed EUR20 billion. The EU will not provide any funding. However, there are already two train lines between Bordeaux and Toulouse. The works and the line will use more than 6,300 hectares of good soils, including 3,000 hectares of forests and 370 hectares of wetlands.
